Word Count: All abstract categories (with the exception of Encore submissions) have a 300 count word limit.
Abstracts must summarize quantitative or qualitative findings from completed research. Basic, clinical, translational, dissemination/implementation, or educational research are examples of acceptable research. Topics should appeal to a clinical pharmacy audience and may include research in drug metabolism, education/pedagogy, health services, medication safety, patient/population outcomes, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacoeconomics, pharmacoepidemiology, pharmacogenomics, pharmacology, or pharmacotherapy. Abstracts reporting in vitro or animal research are welcome.
- Abstracts must be structured with the section headers of: Introduction, research question or hypothesis, study design, methods, results, and conclusions.
- Abstracts will be evaluated based on merits of the research question/hypothesis, study design, originality, methods, data analysis, results, and conclusions. For ACCP's specific evaluation criteria, click here.
- Descriptions of planned research efforts or preliminary data will not be accepted.
- To be eligible for Best Poster, Student Best Poster, or Resident/Fellow Best Poster the abstract must fit and be submitted in this category. For specific eligibility criteria, click here.
- Original research findings presented (in abstract form) elsewhere, but important to clinical pharmacy, are encouraged as "Encore" submissions (see Encore Presentation details below).
- A previously presented abstract may form the basis for a new abstract to be submitted for consideration in the Original Research category if the previous abstract:
- was a descriptive report of planned research only,
- described preliminary results only and complete results are now available,
- was presented at a student, resident, or fellow conference focused on gaining presentation experience and/or formative feedback,
- was presented at an ACCP Chapter or PRN event, or
- conclusions have been added/modified based on a new hypothesis and data analysis of the original results database.
